Another theme/paragraph problem

    Hi all,

    New user, and this is my first post here. I’m a linux user and not a coder (basic bash scripting only).

    I’ve just created a site in WordPress (http://agitostoronto.com/) and I’m having a problem with the css template where it does not post the paragraphs on my site, only page breaks (BR).

    I did some reading on the issue and most of the other users were able to fix with the following:

    p {
	margin-bottom: 25px;
}

    or

    .entry p {
margin: 10px;
}

    Neither worked for me. As I was writing this post I took another look at my css and decided to try the code below, which seemed to work: 

    #content p {
margin-bottom:10px;
}

    Can anyone confirm that this is ok or will it give me headaches in the future?

    Thanks a lot.

    Vic.

    That’s fine. You could also use 

    .post p {
margin-bottom:10px;
}

    But either will work.

    That looks fine to me. However, if you really want to avoid any future headaches with any other markup that has been assigned zero margins and padding, try editing the thickbox.css file in /wp-content/plugins/wpng-calendar/css and getting rid of that ridiculous block:

    * {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

    That will also solve your current paragraph problem. The author of the wpng-calendar plugin needs shooting for adding a universal reset block like that to what will always be an additional stylesheet. In fact, I’ve just posted a comment to that effect…

    Thanks for the reply guys! 🙂

    In regards to the thickbox.css, will it interfere even thou the plugin is not enabled? wpng-calendar did not play well with the non-dynamic sidebar for the old theme that I’m using so I decided to use an iframe instead.

    Thanks,

    Vic.

    Well it’s interfering now. To be sure, I wouldn’t just deactivate it. I’d delete it. Some supposedly “inactive” plugins have been known to continue to cause problems.

    Thanks for the tip… I deleted the plugin folder! 🙂
